Family Tree DNA
Family Tree DNA
facilitates Re-construction projects on the Y-DNA descended male side
of the family, which is very easy because the Y-DNA follows the
traditional lines of surname descent.
The first step, technically, is to determine the genetic fingerprint of
the individual family line. This requires 2 distant, yet paper trail
documented, cousins….the further apart the better! This will eliminate
the chances of false paternity or unannounced adoption at least to the
“common ancestor’s” generation of the 2 distant cousins tested.
(This part has been accomplished for our Stewart/Stuart Project.)
The Y-DNA fingerprint match, plain and simple, confirms lineage
back to the common ancestor.
